Like it a lot
Thank you guys for the effort and nice podcast. It is just awesome to be able to listen to even more climbing. Nice interviews and subjects but I think you could take it to another level by working on the storytelling and ways to make radio/podcasts even more attractive to listen to. For instance Invisibilia and 99% invisible do a great job at making listening to a podcast close to a touchable experience as possible. Although these techniques are not as suitable for interviews it can add when a part of the show is more storytelling. I would love an addition like that as well. Like how did a brand like Patagonia start or who made up the first pieces of climbing protection (pittons, nuts eg). Or the history and story behind a special route or boulder for instance. I am just
trowing it out there it the hopes it is of use to you guys. Thank you for the show.
